How I Discovered It?

Assalam lovelies. ^_^

I got this question even before I break the news kat blog. Somehow you girls boleh discover eh? Huhu. So...here I am....telling you exactly what was happening to me five months ago. ^_^

I still remember…it was in the midst of April madness di mana I sangat sangat super duper busy completing my major correction of the thesis before the due date. Masa tu I tunggu period datang sebab badan dah sakit-sakit macam nak period. I had all those pre-menses symptoms macam perut cramps, sakit belakang/pinggang, and swollen breasts.  Berterusan for few more weeks which made me wondered...ye lah kan...biasanya sakit period ni I kena seminggu before menses je...ni sakit lama, tapi tak period-period lagi. I thought….'Oh may be I was so stressed out because of works…may be my menses would come a little bit late,' I bermonolog di dalam hati. ;D (tulisan senget maksudnya monolog la ye. Hehehe)

So I asked hubby, “What if we're pregnant?”

And hubby said, “Don’t worry. Allah knows the best. If you are pregnant, Allah tahu kita dah ready and this is our time,”

I recalled hubby saying that…cause obviously I was pretty freaked out and nervous. I tak sure whether I dah sedia ke belum untuk pregnant. But I always pray to God asking the best for both of us. I still remembered my whole body screamed that of of pregnancy. Then one day I spotted a pink V(vaginal)-discharge. I rasa I ada terbaca somewhere pasal implantation V-discharge. But I wasn't too sure. We bought the cheapest test kit available in pharmacy (it costs RM8.90 each) cause we don’t want to get our hopes too high. 

Ovulation Tracker showed I've missed 7days of my menses.

We bought two of them.  Thing is..when you bought a cheap test kit, it always took longer time to give you results. So this one says we need to wait for five minutes. Lama tu. But at that time, I tak baca sangat instruction leaflet that came in the box. I tak buat the test until later when my Ovulation Tracker application in my phone showed that I have missed my menses like, a week. 

That was April 30th. I had this strong instinct that says I’m pregnant. But I scared to even do the test. I selalu mimpi weird pasal me getting pregnant...macam mimpi tu menyeru suruh I buat test. So malam tu, I terjaga at about four o’clock that night to pee (yes…I had started a frequent visit to the loo (tandas) at this time), and quickly grab the kit and did the test. (you always have to run the test using your first pee on that day).   Tapi tak tunggu lama, tengok result negative (sebab tak tunggu 5minit, result belum ready) and tossed it into the bin. And went back to sleep sebab sangat mengatuk...kepala rasa berat sangat. 'It’s okay. We’ll try next time,' I said. But I knew it was wrong.

Somehow, I tak boleh tidur. I grabbed the instruction leaflet and start reading, while hubby was deep in his sleep besides me. I wasn’t really sure…the instruction said if a negative test is obtained after 5 min, the kit is somewhat tak berguna dah sebab it might changed to a positive after like, 10minutes; and will give you false result afterwards. But if it shows a positive result, it will remain unchanged. Because I was soo sleepy, I went back to sleep. So in the morning I rushed into the bathroom and recollected my test kit from the bin and I saw a faded line. 

Our test result on April 30th. 

I dengan rasa panic nya called hubby, who was at that time was in the kitchen; having breakfast; into our bedroom. Hehe. I showed him the result (tak surprise okay. Hehe) and ask him what to do sebab at that time I dah faham what the instructions says...and now tak tahu I ni pregnant ke tak. . He said “We’ll go and see the doctor kejap lagi”.

Kebetulan our favourite doctor kat area rumah tu tutup on that particular day. So we drove around cari other clinic (apparently looking for the one yang covered by ING. Senang tak payah bayar. Haha) Okay. Found it. The doctor let us did a test similar to the one we did by ourselves at home. (Buang karan aje. He didn't even asked about my last menstrual date semua). And it showed a faded line too. Memula the doctor said it was a negative. Tak puas hati punya pasal I showed him our result. But then one of the nurse cakap kat doctor tu “Ada line la doctor…line yang cair ni. Cube tengok betul-betul”. Boleh tak the nurse yang educate the doctor….? -_-“ So the doctor concluded that it was still early to detect. He asked us to come back in few more days.

We did came back...but not to his clinic; to our favorite clinic instead (clinic yang test my UTI. Post HERE).  Tihihihiiii. This time I came alone; straight from campus after submitting the thesis. Furthermore, it was Tuesday and hubby was at work in Kertih.

First thing Dr. Fauziah asked was my last menstrual date (LMP), i.e. my first day of last period (as you can see from the picture of the ovulation tracker above). Then she calculated my Expected Delivery Date (EDD) and how many weeks I have been so far, if by any chance I pregnant la. By the calculation I was supposed to be in week 7. So she straight up asked me to lie down and did an untrasound scan on me. First time! Sejuk okay the gel…and I ni pulak memang jenis penggeli. So you girls imagine la macamana I tahan geli tu. Merah-merah muka tahan gelak. Haha.

From the screen I saw a tiny sack in my womb. A very-very tiny one. Doctor said from the scan it should be around 4-5 weeks. And then asked me to provide urine sample to double check. When the result came, I was called again to the doctor’s office…and she said “Congratulations! You are pregnant” and showed me a clear double line. I was smiling and everything else doesn't matter anymore. I cant wait to tell hubby. Heee.

Hubby was thrilled when I told him the news. He slightly regretted that he wasn’t there when the doctor congratulated me.  Then hubby asked whether I had the scan picture or not. Tapi I terlupa nak mintak. Hubby said, “Tak pe lah, this weekend kita pergi jumpa lagi and mintak. Kena simpan dalam album”  Hee. Alasan nak dengar that word from doctor sendiri. Hehehe.

But we didn’t tell the family yet. Cause we wanted to get the scan picture with us when we break the news.  Later that weekend, we went there again to get the (second) confirmation on the pregnancy and to let hubby hear the doctor congratulate him and also the printed scan picture. Hee. Tapi gambar tak berapa cantik la...so I tak tunjuk la kat sini eh. =D

I thought hubby wants to keep it a secret for awhile….but apparently he was the one who told everybody in his office that we are pregnant. It's exciting. So I made a facebook status to tell my friends and family members about it. Biasa lah kan...bila terover excited...semua kita nak cerita. My bad. T_T When hubby returned home that weekend, he told me a story about his friend yang dah beberapa kali miscarried and how they reacted  to the bad news sebab dah banyak kali announced kat facebook. It was a shocked to me, really. When you are still in the early stage of pregnancy, you have all these worries on miscarriage etc etc. So I decided…okay...what’s done is done (I mean the announcement in facebook). I might have to keep this a secret for a little while from my blog readers.  Jadi sebab tu lah I keep this a secret from you girls. Sorry banyak-banyak. =,=

Since I dah hantar my thesis at that time and got nothing to do, hubby put on some restrictions so that I won't do much work (house chores I mean).  Ye lah kan…orang kata kena jaga betul-betul sebab baru lagi lekat. Hubby pulak, memang a control freak (sama macam I. huhuhu) mula la tak bagi I buat macam-macam. I even tak boleh drive pun sebab hubby tak benarkan. Being a wife, you always have to be taat kat suami. Jadi I memang tak berani nak bantah. I ikut kan je kata suami.

Tapi my ObGyn cakap...pregnancy is not a disease. So don't treat a pregnant lady like one. Jadi ikut your instinct je. If you feel what ever you are doing is safe for both of you (you and your baby) then it's okay. Cuma hard physical works memang kena kurangkan. ^_^

Okay. Itu je kot yang I nak share buat hari ni. Ini pun cam dah panjang je entry nya. Hehehe. But yeah. Stay tune for next entry. Sebab I dah karang entry ni lama dah. Tunggu masa je nak publish. Hehe.

Till then girls. Tata! ^_^

XOXO,
